Driven Away From Baseball

Published: April 24, 1988

To the Sports Editor:

Newspapers carry what happened in baseball 50 years ago, but baseball isn't interested in the senior citizen, at least not in New York. When's the next weekday day game at Shea or Yankee Stadium? April 1989?

And there is the pound, pound, pounding of rock music and the blasting of commercials during what used to be quiet intervals of conversation or day-dreaming at games.

I don't care if I ever go back, for it's beer and more beer swilled to obscene chants. It's not baseball; it's a fight. GERRY REED Old Greenwich, Conn.
